The Crawler in the Dark

Overview

A Lovecraftian tale set during Japan’s Meiji era. The story follows Charles T. Wayland, an American writer and adventurer with a taste for the macabre, as he is called to the home of his longtime friend and colleague, Hidekichi, who has found a strange unidentifiable artifact. Hidekichi demonstrates for Charles that the artifact is a window between worlds, allowing them to psychically explore the remotest corners of the universe. But Charles is horrified to learn that Hidekichi is already playing host to another psychic traveler; a malevolent being from a dark world with designs on ruling over mankind.
